Abstract
The reaction of styrene and t-butyl α-diazoacetate in the presence of (R,R)-(ON+)(salen)ruthenium(II) complex 1 under the irradiation of incandescent light in THF gave the corresponding (IS,2R)- cyclopropanecarboxylate with high stereoselectivity of 99% ee (cis: trans = 96:4), while the same reaction in hexane gave the enantiomeric (1R,2S)- cyclopropanecarboxylate preferentially (83% ee, cis: trans = 68:32).
